Lion Capital Scam Warning: lion-capital.at Fake Swiss Firm

Lion Capital presents itself at the domain lion-capital.at as a Swiss-based, "regulated" asset management company. The site highlights portfolio management in securities, precious metals and commodities, together with its own trading terminal; yet it does not state, even in a single line, which authority issued a licence.

🏦 The Swiss Front and the "100% Security" Claim

The site carries phrases such as "EU" regulatory status, 24/7 trading and "100% security"; no regulator name or licence number is given. In schemes of this kind, once trust has been won with a corporate front, a "portfolio manager" who makes contact by telephone steers the person towards increasing the investment; at the withdrawal stage, new payments are requested under the name of tax, commission or verification.

🔍 Traces of Address, Registry and Contact

• Claimed address: Baarerstrasse 43, Zug (Switzerland), a GmbH legal form and a Swiss registry number.
• Contact: The site gives no telephone number and offers only an e-mail channel.
• Identity note: It has not been verified whether the address and registry details on the site belong to a real company in Zug; there is a possibility that another company's identity has been borrowed.
